Develop Bugs

WM6 Localization - let's start!

Hi,
one of the most complaints about cooked roms is that they are avaiable only in WWE, and after a quite long time, in other languages. I don't know how language is stored into WM operating system, but if all word/sentences can be extracted to a text file, i and many like me would be habby to translate it to Italian. I'm sure there's others that can do the same in other languages.
This way we could have our localized WM6 without waiting for official releases how about it?

You should check the Hermes forums, they have localizations for WM6 in several languages. No need to reinvent the wheel.

Is there an easy way for mUn and LVSW to apply hermes localizations languages to trinity WM6 ?
French requested

As far as i know its not that hard to do (as in required skill) but it involves a lot of work.
We should probably wait until all bugs are ironed out, there's no use in translating/converting a buggy Rom.

I agree...

I'm playing around with localization to german, here's the rough steps I did so far:
1) Dump os.nb
2) Copy MUI files from Bepe's german WM6 ROM (Hermes) and rename to *0409*
3) Rebuild
Obviously this only give me a very partial translation, I know registry and initflash would need to be edited as well.
I have a specific problem however: I want to switch msim.dll to msimde.dll (english softkeyboard to german). I copied msimde.dll from the other Rom but when I try to enable it in the registry, the ROM will hang at HTC screen. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I know. don't rename msimde to msim, coz they use different CLISD (it was written inside dll). So when you put renamed msimde.. the system can't use old CLISD with this dll..so you see white screen (coz system doesn't boot without any virtual keyboard)
So you should create new CLISD and edit some reg entries for your de deutch kbd. But you should keep original driver too (msim.dll). But you can deactivate it (isinputmethod=o)

Thanks for the tips.
I'll take a look at bepe's registry and see how he did it.
I still have loads of other questions but I'll ask them when I get there. Maybe I'll write a guide so others can do it too.

A Guide Would Be Excellent ZakMcRofl.

Any WM6 works with Blackberry on the Trinity?

Hi all,
is there any WM6-Rom works with Blackberry Connect on the Trinity?
I tried out some, but I couldn't find any version/combination that works.
It disconnects shortly after the first NW connection.
Thx for any hints.
jupppo

I have the same problem....
I think the new ROm WM6 DOPOD work with bb, but yasterday I prove and do'nt work

Yep, can confirm. Installed the last Dopod this morning and it doesn't work :-(

Which BBC version are you using?

any version.
BB4.0
BB2.1
...

I have the same problem here. I am using DOPOD D810 with official WM6 ROM from HTC. I am using BB2.1 from Dopod site.

I install the WM6 original File Dopod and BB 2.1 and don't work
Please can you say exactly the versions of WM6 dopod and BB you used, and the links...
I'am sorry for my bad english.

I thinkk it is fair to say, that so far no BBC client works under WM6 on the Blackberry. Would be great to hear any different...

I know one solution.
We should edit coredll version (5.2.1437) in xip section to 5.1.195 (i.e)
And reflash this new rom. BB should work in this way )

I have red about these versions, but I did not want to try since nobody tried it out in the combination. I really hope someone cookes that in a ROM or make installable solutions.

WM 6.1 German???

Does someone already have a German version of Windows Mobile 6.1 ?
If so, please share it with us.
Thanks.

I'm also interested.

me too ;-)

I'm also interested!

download [here]
Viel Spass!

Only those ROMS are for the HTC Kaiser.

For Smartphone there aren't any German mui-files, which are necessary for translations. In fact, there aren't any other languages available, unless one of you is willing to get a resource editor and translates them. lol
That is very unpractical by the way, I started and then stopped after a while!

Just for future information, are mui files interchangeable? Can you take a ppc mui and use it on a smartphone?

I don't know. But I don't think so, because PPC interface looks different.

There is no German version for the Dash, however it maybe helpful to change the keyboard mapping so you can get the symbols you need (even if the OS is in English). Search the forum for more details about how to do this - many people have had exactly this problem, so help is availabe

any Chance for a german WM6.1?
well, i looked around here and found, here are several german users inside this forum, as well as many german roms for different smartphones. My question now: is there going to be anyone, who tries or tried modifying any wm6.1 for the s620 to german?
thanks in advance.

Need help with my Toshiba Portege G810...

Hi,
I bought this phone in Taiwan without thinking too much of it. The pre-installed Windows Mobile 6.1 is in Chinese - that's fine. But I cannot believe that it doesn't let me change it to an English system...! My friend's HTC Touch lets him do that. How's that possible? I thought changing language would be one of the fundamental functions?
Anyway, does anyone know if I can ever change my Windows from Chinese to English? And how I would do it, if there were ways of doing it?
Thanks...!

Can anyone help...?

the language is located in the rom and flashing it with an english rom should make it english
dont know anything about flashing toshibas myself though

If you dump the rom, probably one of the talented people that frequent xda-developers could help you.

what do you mean by "dumping" the rom...?
i guess the portege g810 is just not popular enough for people to develop anything for it... maybe i just need to wait...

From the wiki: "The ROM holds the Operating system and other components such as the bluetooth and wifi stacks. The ROM is accompanied by the Radio, Ext_ROM, SPL and IPL."
Basically if you dump the ROM from your device, the language files can be changed, and then you could re-flash the modified ROM to your device. I'm not sure how to do all of that, but there are many people here that do know. I believe the first step would be to dump the ROM from your device. Please see the following thread:

NO!!! That would ruin your device. I posted a link to that thread because it contained instruction for dumping a ROM. You can only flash your Portege G810 with Portege G810 ROMS. That's why you'd have to dump the ROM from your own device, modify it, and then flash it back to your device

Hi. First you must try to dump the ROM and upload it somewhere (share it with XDA. I guess some of the masters are looking for the G810 rom).
Try to follow the steps described here:

anyone knows how we can flash the English ROM over the Chinese version? I tried it but the update software checks the language and stopped me moving forward.
Any method to flash it from the SD card? I have got the flash.bin from the EXE file downloaded at the official site.

Asus A696 Upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5

Hey,
I tried to upgrade my Asus A696 to a new version but no luck (i'm not that good at this kind of stuff), so my question is if there's a way to upgrade it at least to WM 6.1, or 6.5 using a different ROM version or something like that.
I would appreciate if the following answers would be from people who tried this before.
PS: If there are links (here) where i can find steps to upgrade, i would be grateful if you point them out.
Regards

I'd like to do this as well. I second the request for help and I'd very much like to know if you are able to do this .
Thanks very much,
PM

I sign for that too - I would to install WM6.5

It will be soon, I have working version wm6.1 PLK (21109), but it's just my second build. I don't have this device, so I can't do it quickly.

It's not a mistake. For example WM6.5 on HP iPAQ hx2000 series runs much faster then WM6.1
I would suggest You to go for WM6.5

that's my opinion, I don't like chome, honeycomb, new big menus, manila and other kind of sh%t.
But if you like it, you can use it. I don't prohibit it

any news about it? I would like to install 6.1 or 6.5 also on my a696

Was amazed to find a ASUS P527 6.5 upgrade on here the other day, being able to upgrade the A696 would be awesome as well .
So if there is anyone listening out there, please, please
Thanks,
Peter

Thanks for your reply, I downloaded and took a look - but I've never done anything like this before, I don't know where to begin. The fact that anything I make with this would be Polish (?) - I'm out of my league. Maybe I'll see if I can figure out the P527 where they do have a World Wide English version already and see what can be done with that.
The P527 has a bunch of ways to upgrade through USB and microSD even if the main process fails - I have no idea if there is such a method for the A696 though. If a flash fails, that could be it... and that's a little bit daunting for a first timer...
Thanks,
Peter

you can make image backup first.
pdocread –v 0x0 0x3600000 nk.nb0
upgrade is simply, by usbloader.
1. Disable usb connections in async
2. plug usb cable to pda
3. reset pda with center dpad button pressed.
4. USB Download mode screen will appear
5. Click "Upload ROM!" in kitchen.

can anybody please create and upload the wwe version? It's just that I don't understand Polish so the PLK is completely useless to me (and I guess others)

Yes, I can try, but not so fast.

Well, I am subscribed to this thread so just tell me when you have something ready. I will be waiting

I too would like a WWE version of a 6.1 or 6.5 ROM for the Asus 6x6 series devices... I would be willing to do some testing as well. I would also be willing to make a donation to whomever gets a 6.5 ROM working.
